Coverage: 1971-2010 (Vol. 1, No. 4 - Vol. 40, No. 6)

Note: Note: The content for Vols. 1-16 (1954-1970) and Vol. 1, Nos. 1-3 (1970-1971) of Bulletin (Institute of Management Sciences), the previous title to Interfaces, will be released as soon as the issues become available to JSTOR.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.

Abstract

The application of the VERT networking technique to the problem of allocation of maintenance funds to improve the response time of the defense ammunition production base is addressed in this paper. Cursory analysis of the application indicates that savings of several million dollars in the form of ammunition inventory avoidance have been obtained by the expenditure of $50,000.
